“After Earth” First Motion Picture to Be Shot with Sony’s F65 4K Camera

March 7, 2012

PARK RIDGE, NJ—“After Earth,” a new film by Overbrook
Entertainment and acclaimed director M. Night Shyamalan, is the first major
motion picture to be shot using Sony’s new F65 CineAlta digital production
camera. The film is scheduled for
release next year by Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Columbia Pictures

Shyamalan commented, “I couldn’t
be any happier with the F65, which is amazing since I’m a ‘film guy’ and I
thought I’d die a ‘film guy.’ It’s a digital media that’s warm and has humanity
in it which is obviously the most important thing to me.”

“The F65 is like a great leap
forward,” said director of photography, Peter Suschitzky. “As soon as I did
testing of the F65, I was immensely impressed by the amount of detail it
captures, by its incredible flexibility, from low lights to high lights, and
its great contrast range. It really is a camera for the future and I’m going to
use it again on a number of films.”

In January 2012, Sony began
worldwide deliveries of the F65 camera; approximately 400 units were
pre-ordered, and several other high-profile productions are also planned to be
shot with the F65.

“This movie is the perfect first
project for the F65,” said Alec Shapiro, senior vice president at Sony
Electronics. “The combination of an innovative moviemaker and a script with
incredibly high production values will test the limits of this camera and its
powerful feature set. The result is sure to be a unique and visually immersive
entertainment experience for the movie-going consumer.”

The F65 camera’s 8K image sensor, with approximately 20 total megapixels,
offers higher image fidelity than any other digital cinema production camera. With
16-bit Linear RAW File output capability, the F65 creates the gateway to an
end-to-end 4K file-based mastering workflow.

In response to the strong
interest in Sony’s new F65 CineAlta camera from the filmmaking community, Sony
Pictures Studios plans to host workshops on digital workflows supporting the
F65. The workshops, beginning in March, are designed to educate qualified
directors, cinematographers and other film industry professionals.
